Beckley Prepares to Withstand Hurricane Damage?
7/18/2023 (Permalink)
When a storm causes damage to your home or commercial property, you can rely on our local Beckley team to restore your property damage quickly and efficiently. Since 1930, only 25 hurricanes have been recorded in West Virginia, and although Beckley is located in a very low-risk hurricane zone, the region often receives remnants of these powerful storms in the form of heavy rainfall, flash flooding, powerful winds, tornadoes, and landslides.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reports that hurricanes can affect the region once every 2.3 years, so it is still a good idea to be prepared in the event one does occur. The National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offer this helpful information for making a plan as follows:
- Write down emergency phone numbers and keep them on the refrigerator or near every phone in your house. Program them into your cell phone too.
- Prepare an emergency supply kit
- Locate the nearest shelter and different routes you can take to get there from your home. If shelter locations in your area have not been identified, learn how to find them in the event of a storm.
- Pet owners: Pre-identify shelters, a pet-friendly hotel, or an out-of-town friend or relative where you can take your pets in an evacuation
